Feed the People!: Why Industrial Food Is Good and How to Make It Even Better

內容簡介

內容簡介 食品產業是氣候變遷、污染、肥胖、動物受苦與勞動剝削的重要推手。許多食品作家將問題歸咎於工業化食品體系，並告訴個別消費者應透過購買在地、小規模、手工生產的食品來解決問題——但這樣的解方多數美國人負擔不起。然而，正如食品政策專家 Jan Dutkiewicz 與 Gabriel Rosenberg 所指出的，現代科技使食物在歷史上前所未有地更加平價、充足、多樣且美味。在《餵養人民！》(暫譯)一書中，他們主張，像 Waffle House 鬆餅這樣的現代飲食樂趣，以及讓這些產品成為可能的工業體系，其實是有其價值的。只要運用聰明的科技與務實的政策，我們甚至能讓它變得更好。Dutkiewicz 與 Rosenberg 走訪全美，尋找那些正在改變我們生產與食用食物方式的人——從植物肉漢堡的創新者，到提供免費學校午餐的廚師，再到為速食餐廳勞工組織工會的勞動運動者。他們指出，打造一個真正為所有人服務的食品體系，不能只靠「多吃蔬菜」這麼簡單。《餵養人民！》邀請你一起入座，加入這場美味的行動。Why Wendell Berry, Michael Pollan, and other slow-food-loving locavores are wrong about food in America—and why Waffle House can save us all.“This book is sustenance for your mind as it imagines more democratic and delightful ways we can all fill our stomachs.” —Astra Taylor, author of Democracy May Not Exist, But We’ll Miss It When It’s GoneThe food industry is a major driver of climate change, pollution, obesity, animal suffering, and workplace exploitation. Many food writers blame the industrial food system and tell individual eaters to fix these problems by buying local, artisanal food from small farmers—a solution most Americans can’t afford.But, as food-policy experts Jan Dutkiewicz and Gabriel Rosenberg remind us, modern technology has made food more affordable, abundant, varied, and tastier than at any other time in history. In Feed the People!, they argue that modern food pleasures like Waffle House waffles, and the industrial systems that make them possible, are actually good. With smart technology and commonsense policies, we can make them even better.Dutkiewicz and Rosenberg have traveled around the United States to find the people changing the way we make and eat food, from the innovators behind plant-based burgers to the cooks serving free school lunches to the labor organizers unionizing fast food joints. They show that building a food system that works for everyone will take more than just eating your vegetables.Feed the People! invites you to sit at the table and join this delicious movement.

各界推薦

各界推薦 “[Feed the People] brings a passion to the affluent society’s intractable modern dilemma of what to eat. As Rosenberg and Dutkiewicz say, it is a dilemma probably most effectively addressed without preaching.”―Financial Times“Are you tired of half-baked platitudes about the problems with our food system and hungry for real solutions? Then this book is for you. Dutkiewicz and Rosenberg refuse simplistic formulations and offer a complex, incisive, and, yes, provocative analysis, coupled with a rousing call to remake powerful industries to serve humane and sustainable ends. This book is sustenance for your mind as it imagines more democratic and delightful ways we can all fill our stomachs.” ―Astra Taylor, author of Democracy May Not Exist, But We’ll Miss It When It’s Gone“The wild ride through politics-on-the-plate that Rosenberg and Dutkiewicz offer here invites readers to meet this moment in contemporary American foodie culture with equal parts skepticism and realism. Blending analysis of many 21st-century food fads with agricultural history and politics, their vision of the future of the food system shifts attention away from the romanticized virtues of small family farmers producing local food and toward an embrace of how industrialization can address major problems at scale. The best part is that it tackles conventional wisdom, especially the assumed value of the locavore life, with a rare combination in food lit of wit, humor, and data. Speaking to anxiety about the contemporary American food system in a fresh way, this book brings readers face-to-face with hostile noodles, long nights at the Waffle House, and a chance to reconsider their assumptions about what’s best to eat and why.” ―Kelly Alexander, James Beard award–winning former editor of Food & Wine and Saveur, coauthor of Hometown Appetites
